At the 14,267 foot summit of Torreys Peak
in the Colorado Rockies

We have not wings, we cannot soar;
But we have feet to scale and climb
By slow degrees, by more and more,
The cloudy summits of our time.

- From The Ladder of St. Augustine,
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow


In the eyes of the mountain, all people are equal.
In the eyes of all people, our souls can be seen.
In the course of our struggle,
we'll know what humanity means.

- From The Gold and Beyond,
lyrics by John Denver

A pdf version of my vita and a text version of a brief biography are linked to this web page.

One of my greatest passions is mountain climbing, and my current project is to climb all of Colorado's Fourteeners, the mountains in Colorado whose summit elevations exceed 14,000 feet. The list in the preceding hyperlink shows my progress to date.

Information about my book An Introduction to Banach Space Theory is available here.
